Problem
I. Four year-old Ashana frequently takes other children candies from them, showing little concern for how it impacts them. Ashana's mother tells her to "imagine how other kids feel when someone takes something away." Using what you know about cognitive development, explain Ashana's behaviours. Why is her mother's comment not likely to influence her? What could you do to encourage Ashana to behave differently?
II. Fred is reading his psychology textbook. How would a Gestalt psychologist explain his perception of the words on the page of his textbook?
